“Okay,” Kate said before hanging up the phone and thereafter took her cutlery to feed Nathan another bite. However, this time, Nathan felt that the taste of the dish had changed. After chewing on it dozens of times, he still couldn’t bring himself to swallow it. What was he supposed to do?
What should he do to win her back? “If you have matters to attend to, you can return home. There are caregivers here.” She looked up and shot him a glance that was somewhat defensive. “Is someone coming to visit you later?”
He froze. “N-No!” Kate suddenly felt irritated, and she slightly lost her temper. Then, why do you keep kicking me out? I don’t want to take care of you either, but I have no choice. You are injured because of me. I don’t care whether you think I’m ungrateful, but if you think I’m not taking good care of you, tell me who you want. I can bring her over and make you happy!”
Nathan stared at her in astonishment, then hastily explained, “No, it’s not that. I was afraid that you’re busy and that I am… wasting your time.” She snapped fiercely, “What would I be busy. with?” Does he think I’m him?
He was speechless. After taking a deep breath, Kate set down the bowl in her hand before leaving the ward. She squatted in the corridor of the aisle and buried her head deep between her legs to hide like an ostrich.
It was impossible for her to calm down at all. While it was one thing to think about it, it was another to really bring herself to do it.
She was aware of everything. She knew that she shouldn’t have lost her temper with him right now, and she shouldn’t be saying such things, but she just couldn’t control herself!
When the sound of high heels clacking against the ground rang out from a distance, she didn’t even want to bother about it. It wasn’t until the pair of high heels stopped beside her that she looked up with tears in her eyes. “Olivia…”
Kate got up and hugged the person who had just arrived. “Olivia… I think I really need to see a doctor.” Olivia reached out and hugged her back. “All right. Don’t feel so bad. What’s the matter?”
Kate cried for a long time before telling her about what happened earlier. “I didn’t mean to say that. I just couldn’t control myself.”
“I know. I know,” Olivia replied. “You’re not sick. You just can’t bring yourself to forgive him. You think negatively whenever he says something,. but deep down, you know that he doesn’t mean to hurt you. To put it bluntly, you’re too disappointed and you feel wronged. You blame him for destroying the good in your heart, because you feel those seven years had been in vain.
You blame him for always saying that he likes you, but now, he has suddenly shown how generous he can be. You can’t treat him as a normal friend anymore. You hate that you can’t make it happen, but you can’t let it go either, right? I completely understand!”
Leaning into Olivia’s arms, Kate nodded. vigorously. “All right,” Olivia comforted. “In fact, Nathan has asked you to return because you looked upset. He didn’t mean anything else. Don’t feel pressured. He has made a mistake, so you can treat him however you want.
This is what he should pay for his mistakes. You don’t have to worry about him. Slowly get through this. Don’t force yourself to accept it as soon as possible. Just let nature take its course. If you enjoy taking care of him, then stay. If not, then just leave!”
While looking at Olivia in an aggrieved manner, Kate pursed her lips. “He was injured trying to save me. I can’t just ignore him.” Olivia smiled and asked in return, “So what? Weren’t you trying to save him?”
“It was also because of me last time-” “At the end of day, that was because of him too. All of this only happened because he made you sad, so you don’t have to be upset.”
